What are Channel Letters?

Channel letters or pan channel letters are large individual letters. They are commonly used as exterior signage on businesses, churches, and in shopping centers. There are three basic types of channel letters with a fourth type a combination of two types. The major point of differentiation between types of channel letters is in how they are illuminated.

Types of Channel Letters

Open-face channel letters

They are quite simply an aluminum can shaped as a letter with the open side of the can the face of the sign with neon tubing exposed.

Internally lit channel letters

are sometimes called front lit channel letters. The cans have the open side facing the viewer as does the open-face channel letter but the face has a colored acrylic face so none of the electrical workings show.

Front / back lit channel letters

combine internally lit with back lit illumination. They create a very striking illuminated sign.

Reverse lit channel letters,back lit and halo lit channel letters

Reverse lit, back lit, and halo lit refer to the illumination coming from behind the letter rather than from the face of the letter. The channel letters are mounted off the wall with studs or a raceway so the lights inside the can cast a glow around each letter from the back.
